About this map

Daytona Beach occupies the center of this coastal study, positioned between the Atlantic Ocean and the Tomoka River. The landscape is defined by the Halifax River, which serves as a segment of the Intracoastal Waterway, spanned by the Fairview Main St Br and the South Br. This mid-century view captures the city during a period of significant land use diversification, seen in the large footprint of the Daytona Beach Regional Airport and the neighboring Daytona International Speedway.

Educational and civic life are anchored by institutions like Bethune-Cookman College and Mainland High Sch, while specialized recreation is found at the Volusia County Kennel Club and numerous golf courses. To the north, Holly Hill and Seabreeze integrate into the urban fabric, while the southern reaches show the emerging boundaries of South Daytona and Port Orange. The presence of several burial grounds, including Ararat Cem and Bellevue Memorial Cem, provides essential points for genealogical research within the city's historical layout.
